Headed back to the UMN ag campus fields, going counter clockwise today. The dogs love the wide-open space but prefer not to run in the freshly plowed fields. I can empathise. Fortunately, there are many strips of lawn separating the different parcels, making for wonderful walking and running. Heard my first red-winged blackbird to day and the freshly filled feeders in our backyard were being visited by juncos, house finches, downy woodpecker, cardinal and bluejay, all at once. Spring is in the air!

Going for some distance and tried the crushed limestone paths next to McMurray Fields. Nice! it will be interesting to see how the new road set-up around Como Pool and McMurray Fields will work. One weird omission is a pedestrian/bike path or sidewalk along the quite narrow one-way parallel to Lexington. Are they expecting folks to use the sidewalk along Lexington or to walk on the grass?

Very gentle first session with Elizabeth. good catching up with her, but I'd prefer doing it while skiing alongside on some trail ...
Checking time/distance between clinic and TCF Stadium Green Line stop. Shorter, but for all means and purposes a wash. If it rains, I will head for the stadium, if the sun shines, I will walk to Prospect Park.

First time we got yelled at by security walking along the tracks. They came from behind on the black-topped service road, we were hiking along on the unimproved N side of the tracks. A short siren, beep and then a dressing down over loudspeaker. I ignored them, we were just between the Kemps and the Wells Fargo buildings, affording us a way to continue across the Kemps parking lot. I think the guy was peeved that we did not stop. Granted, I know we are trespassing, but there are no fences, not even no trespassing signs where we cross in. Oh well. I did notice more security vehicles lately and I also wonder if the sudden move of the hobo tent close to Lexington is related.

Kind of a grey afternoon. Before we got going, I draped plastic sheeting over rebar to get a cold fram started. Enjoying the chalk doodles of the kids at the charter school in one of the business buildings.

Joel stopped by to help with the dogs, much appreciated. He took Roux, I took Mellie. The hobo tent had moved east by about 100 m, now pretty close to the Lexington Bridge. I wonder whether his septic pile was getting too big. Sanitary move. Brisk afternoon.

Didn't feel so hot this morning. Fresh air did wonders, as I was trying to keep the wild beasts in check. Looks like spring break at Hamline U, very quiet.

Quick hike to the Sioux, wai there on the RR grade, on way back along the beach. The ice was still firm enough to walk along the edge on the Sioux River slough towards the shore. Lynn joined us for the stretch to Bayview Beach and turned back with Mellie, who was still recovering from yesterday's efforts. Roux broke through the ice at the mouth of the Sioux, while harassing some geese. They seemed to laugh at his mishap while he was rather surprised and taken aback. Picked up a nice 2 x 10 8 footer driftwood on the way back, adding to the training effort.
